The signatures were collected by ADOPT this spring. When ADOPT’s efforts are added to NMM’s existing total of more than 10,000 validated signatures, the petition effort is over halfway to the more than 120,000 signatures needed for the Nebraska Secretary of State to place this constitutional amendment initiative petition on the Nov. 3 General Election ballot. “We are proud of our success in gathering tens of thousands of petition signatures in support of letting Nebraska vote on legalizing medical marijuana,” said ADOPT spokesperson Michael J. O’Hara. “Despite the great obstacles of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing, civil unrest and curfews, our petition gatherers did a super job. Clearly, the people of Nebraska want to vote on this important health care issue.” Utilizing paid and volunteer gatherers, ADOPT began collecting signatures in early March and promptly was forced to suspend collection operations after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in state and local executive orders closing many public and private venues for health reasons.

destination. Hastings St. Cecilia's Bailey Kissinger, who completed
her sophomore season with a Class C-2 title in March, announced
her commitment to Nebraska-Kearney on Monday."A huge thanks
to Coach (Brittany) Wilson and Coach (Greg) Berndt for always
pushing me to be a better person and player," Kissinger posted
on social media. "I wouldn't be where I am today without the
Team Factory family and support of the St. Cecilia commu-
nity."Kissinger provided the Hawkettes a steady presence from
Day 1, running point for the two-time defending state champions.
She started as a freshman and averaged 12.7 points, 3.3 assists
